Before we had time to anchor some of the locals boarded Mouse Pad and introduced themselves as our "Hosts". We were to find out late how gracious they actually are. While we were there they wouldn't let us do anything. It was wonderful but dificult to understand how hospitable they are. They open the hearts and houses to everyone who strays by there lonely but wonderfully beautiful island.
Mouse Pad's hosts were to be the house of Simon and Edward. Terangi and Kori lived with them also and spared no effort in making us happy the entire time we were there.
